Main

Selin Kubilay

With a background in aquatic sciences, I transitioned into research data management, following my passion for FAIR research software development and open science advocacy. I thrive in interdisciplinary environments and particularly enjoy developing R packages and interactive dashboards that enhance data accessibility and usability. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, road biking, bouldering, and hosting board game nights.
